Possible ideas take a more concrete form when it&#39;s something I&#39;m working on myself. But I feel free to ignore or revise their suggestions and hope they do the same with mine. They&#39;re only ideas.<br />YOU are one of the quilters I cited in this article who&#39;s put words on quilts. In fact, you have several of them. Of course, it&#39;s a treat when you join in. You have such creative interpretations.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12922656955543465650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231509571353812426.post-39512467208334692442017-07-26T10:01:19.288-07:002017-07-26T10:01:19.288-07:00Thanks, Maureen.

But first, I&#39;ll cut up blue fabric into pennants.<br />At least you&#39;ve made one quilt with words. I&#39;ve always been interested. Even when I first started quilting I thought about a border with my name (like Gertrude&#39;s.) This will be a good kick-in-the-pants for me and hopefully encourage others to try. Once I started looking I was amazed how many interesting ways there are to add words and letters.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12922656955543465650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231509571353812426.post-21374559648216601332017-07-25T22:03:53.058-07:002017-07-25T22:03:53.058-07:00Your border is definitely looking peppier now!

It&#39;s just too busy for my eyes. I like the pennants as they are. And adding a border of some fabric means you only have to make a few more with those reds you cut. How about a yellow print? Letters are on my bucket list. I&#39;ll move them to #1 spot so I can do some on a quilt this quarter.
